In the circuit shown the cells A and B have negligible resistances. For VA = 12 V, R1 = 500 and R = 100 the galvanometer (G) shows no deflection. The value of VB is [figure]

  1. 4 V
  2. 2 V
  3. 12 V
  4. 6 V

Answer

(2) 2 V

Solution

G shows no deflection, no current flows in the branch of G and VB.

The same current flows through R1 and R in series:

I = VAR1 + R = 12500 + 100 = 0.02 A

VB is in parallel with R (through G carrying no current):

VB = IR = 0.02 100 = 2 V

Answer: (2)

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient, across the potentiometer wire, is k volt/cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0 A when two way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at length l1 cm and l2 cm respectively. The magnitudes, of the resistors R and X, in ohms, are then, equal, respectively, to [figure]
